Quote:I think this is where I've been trying to get at it the whole conversation. What do you propose as the solution when someone does not pay a fine owed for a citation?

They lose their license or they pay the fees to the agency involved (DMV? not sure). Whichever is the policy of the state. 

 

The problem we are having with this is that a private agency manages this and automatically charges monthly fees during the process artificially increasing the fines and fees above what the penalty initially called for. It leads in many cases to the same cyclical problems that pay day cash advance places get people into.
